I thought the Japs played all right in the first half but gave two diabolical goals away with terrible, sloppy defending. The sort of defending you associate with Sunday league games. They would have to raise their game a notch in order to avoid ignominy of going home early in the world cup proper in 2014. The defending by the Mexicans for the third goal isn't any better to be honest . It was diabolical defending, imo. No wonder these two sides were the whipping boys of the group with zero point against the better Brazilian and Itallian sides.
